To foster unity and growth, your group can implement practices inspired by the teachings in Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. A foundational practice is to actively cultivate seeing divinity in all beings, which naturally promotes brotherhood and respect, mirroring how Sai treated men as brothers and women as sisters or mothers. Another practice is to collectively work on overcoming the "nooses of death": adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of places where there is narration of stories of the Guru, music, and worship. Therefore, organizing regular gatherings with chanting and readings from the Satcharitra would be a powerful way to build a vibrant community, as the text questions the use of any place where these devotional activities are absent.
